What we are doing
Between Thorpe Mandeville and Culworth we have been building the Lower Thorpe viaduct. Earlier this summer, the Lower Thorpe viaduct was launched over Banbury Lane. We are now progressing with the concrete works for the deck structure.
We will be erecting a travelling platform that will move from the southern end of the viaduct, northwards as the deck concreting work progresses along the viaduct.Whilst we complete these activities above the road, to ensure the safety of road users, short closures of Banbury Lane are required.
During November and December, there will be a number of short road closures whilst we complete this work. The expected dates are listed below. A signed diversion will be in place using the Greatworth Temporary Road.
HS2 is undergoing a comprehensive reset to ensure it can be built efficiently and for the lowest reasonable cost. This work is being carried out in stages and will be completed in 2026. We will provide you with updates on the reset and what this means for our plans to build the railway in your area.
